Comments Off on Six Was at Seven Six Was at Seven
One of my nieces is currently playing Katherine of Aragon in Six: Teen Edition at ‘Broadway on the Side’ in Ogden, so last night my 15-year-old and I trekked up to see her. (My hubby was going to come, too, but he had a rough week, what with the MRI and a power outage rendering him CPAP-less for part of a night.) I knew one song beforehand–my hubby likes “Heart of Stone”–and didn’t actually realize that the six queens are the only roles; on the other hand, being an English major and a Shakespeare fan did give me a fair amount of background, so there’s that.
It was a fabulous time.
The girls were talented and hilarious, the premise entertaining, and I’ve never shied away from a certain morbidity of humor. It was a full-length adaptation made cleaner for its teen performers, so I don’t know how differently I’d feel about the un-adapted version, but still. Thumbs up from me!
